Answer:

(a) 84.2

(b) 10.6

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this questions we can use the standardization formula, where we know that if X\sim N(\mu,\sigma^2) then Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} \sim N(0,1)

So for

(a) we know that the z score for the 70th percentile is 0.524, so using the normalization equation we have

\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}=0.524

X=0.524*8+80=84.192

(b) We can procede as above and get

P(X

Answer:

a) 84.2  b)10.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there! Hope you are doing fine.

First to obtain the 70th percentile we make use of tables found (everywhere) with the relation bewteen the percentile and the so-called <em>z-score </em>

Such like this one:

<u>https://www.mymathtables.com/statistic/z-score-percentile-normal-distribution.html</u>

There we look for the 70th percentile and found that its <em>z-score </em>is 0.524. This is the number of times of standar deviations which we are far from the mean, <em>i.e. </em>:

z = \frac{x- \mu}{\sigma} -- (1)

In our case we have:

μ = 80

σ = 8

replacing these values on the eq (1) we have:

0.524 = \frac{x- 80}{8}

Now we find <em>x</em>

x = 0.524*8+80

So x=84.192 and if we round it to the tenths place:

     x=84.2

For the second part we now look for the percentile of a <em>z-score</em> <em> </em>with x = 70

now:

z = \frac{70-80}{8} = -1.25

Now we look in the table for a number close to it or alternatively we can use a calculator such as this one:

<u>https://measuringu.com/pcalcz/</u>

   Just make sure you select the one-sided option

We found that the -1.25 <em>z-score</em> corresponds to 10.565%

Rounding it to the tenths position we get

   p = 10.6%

My daughter is having a hard time trying to figure this problem.
Natalija [7]

Hey there! :-)

First, let's find the slope of the line.

We can do that by using this formula:

Slope=Rise/Run

Where

Rise=how many units we move up

Run=how many units we move left or right.

We move 5 units up and 8 units to the right.

Therefore, the slope is 5/8.

The y-intercept (where the line touches the graph) is -9/8.=

Therefore, the equation of the line is y=5/8x-9/8.

Hope this helps you daughter. Use the comment section to clarify any doubts.

Answer:

option 3

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+8<-16

x<-6

4x+8_>-16

x_>-1

(it's more and equal .so the circle has to be shaded and move to the right of -1)

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

cos r/q is the answer,

Step-by-step explanation:

this can be seen when you elaborate sin=opposite/hypotenus and tan=opposite/adjacent by referring to the right angle triangle .

then, apply values of adjacent dan hypotenuse to cos
